1. Bell Work
Jessica is planting a triangular flower bed in the corner of her yard, the dimensions of the garden are 8ft. by 4ft. how much edging is needed to enclose the triangular flower bed? (Round to the nearest tenth if needed)
Jeremy has 3 pencils on his desk. The lengths of the pencils are: 18 cm, 15 cm, and 8 cm.
a. Draw and label a diagram to show what it would look like if he attempted to arrange the 3 pencils into a right triangle.
b. Determine if his triangle was actually a right triangle. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to prove your answer.
8 ft.
4 ft.

3. Vocabulary Initial Value of a Function
This is the corresponding y-value when x equals zero

4. What we will Learn
How to analyze graphs
Analyze tables and words

5. Background Knowledge Steps
Find the “change in” both variables (Independent and Dependent)
Calculate the Rate of Change (Slope)
Substitute slope for the “m” in
y = mx + b
Use one coordinate value (x, y) from table and substitute for the x and y in
Solve for “b”
Write the equation in the form
